Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 17 → 18). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 14th of 19 of the 19 central midfielders in the K League 1. At 29 Dae-Won is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Gangwon FC finished 3rd of 12 · an upper-table side
1.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 12) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Creativity. 0.31 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 42.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.23 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 30.3, Dae-Won carries the 14th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 of 19 — though on just 23 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
